Potions Plus (v.6)

Description
A very simple mod I originally made for myself and the small group I used to play with.

Let's face it, the potions area of the game is incredibly lacking. The only potions you'll actively find through the game are HP, mana, and elemental resistance potions. 2/3 of these are elemental resistance potions, which, to be honest, aren't even worth buying and using. HP and mana potions are found and (hopefully) used by you regularly, AND can be purchased, but what RPG-themed game DOESN'T have HP/mana potions in it?

This mod aims to fix that by adding five (5) new potions to the game: The potion of courage, attunement, swiftness, resilience, and boon. Refer to the uploaded images above for what they specifically do in terms of stats and such.

-The potions add very powerful buffs onto your character for a short time (excluding the boon potion, the buffs of which last much longer), but are also very, very rare to find, which is done to help balance things out. The potion of boon is also even more uncommon than the other potions.
-The potions only have a chance to drop in areas which are level 10 or higher. This should include areas added in by other mods as well.
-The potions can drop in these areas in any place where other items can drop (I.E. from monsters, chests, and even other containers and breakables.)
-As mentioned before, they are VERY rare. If you're thinking the mod isn't "working," you most likely just need to be more patient. I have done extensive testing on the drop rates and I can guarantee that you'll probably only find a max of 2 of these potions in a large area where they drop, and that's if you're lucky.

Comments and feedback are greatly appreciated. And upvotes. And subscriptions. And favorites. And other things. Duh.

Domino, okay, no problem. By the way, I found your mod simply walking through ALL the mods in steam workshop, because I'm building megamodpack (like those big skyrim modpacks) for hardcore experience. I MEAN hardcore. This mod would be ideal addition to the very harsh world, where your death would mean all gold lost, as well as all experience and fame (mod [MediumCore]).

Whew. I'm surprised people are even still finding this mod anymore.

I haven't had any plans to make the potions purchasable at all. Gold is already a fickle thing in TL2, but the real problem rests within the fact that the potions can be obtained throughout the whole game, save for the first few areas. Any fixed price on them would only be ideal for a certain level range, which would make it relatively harder to get potions before that range, and too easy to get them later. I'm also not very knowledgeable with setting up custom items/vendors, and I'm not sure if there's even a way to make the price scale with level, or set a limited amount to be in stock at any time.

So I'm stuck with flat drop rates until I figure out how to not be lazy and use the editor better.

It would be better if you could buy them at the vendor (for some high price), so that the vendor had lots of potions. (or is it already so?)

Wow, great idea! Have you found alternatives though to use it with this mod and get even more potions?
